W. EF. Midden—Meteorie Iron from North Carolina. 325 
would gather upon its surface over night, which, if wiped away, 
woul forums again in the next twenty -four 10urs. 
This last addition to the story of the “silver nugget” con- 
vinced me that the mass was really meteoric iron. After no 
little trouble and expense it was finally sent to Menlo Park, 
N. J., where it was at once recognized as meteoric iron. ut 
for the active interest taken in this meteorite by the Messrs. 
Eames, it would have been in all probability lost to science ; 
and I take this opportunity to express my indebtedness to 
them. 
For the exact size and appearance of this meteorite see cut.*
